    NOVLtea 39 - Romantasy vs. Romantic Fantasy

    Andie and Savannah sit down to discuss the age old debate—is it romantasy, or is it actually romantic fantasy? This episode of NOVLtea is sponsored by Kissed by the Gods by Caty Rogan!

She expects to be executed for her crimes, but instead a gift from a goddess drags Leina into a realm of war, where her survival depends on her ability to ride a winged horse and master a power she never asked for. Throw in a gods-blessed warrior by the name of Ryot who is assigned to help her master the divine power gifted to her, and you have the recipe for a perfect romantasy.
